Mirage Takesaburo is considered the most capable fighter among the veterans in the Mirage Kingdom. He is highly regarded and his tactics are quite stable.
When this little old man, who was only 1.45 meters tall, arrived in Beiyuan City, the city was already filled with the smell of death.
Beiyuan City, which has long lost its ability to function normally, is now starving and is no different from hell.
You can see looting Mirage soldiers everywhere, and many houses have been forcibly occupied by the wounded and criminals from Mirage.
The commanders of the Mirage Kingdom who knew the situation did not stop them, because they also discovered that the Tang army did not seem to have any intention of bombing Beiyuan City.
Although the positions outside have been bombed to ashes, Beiyuan City is still relatively safe. The Tang Army's planes hardly visit here, and they only drop leaflets when they come here occasionally.
The content of those leaflets is very irritating. People from the Mirage Country are devils, Tang Army will soon liberate Beiyuan City, etc. It is irritating to watch.
"Asshole! Are you blind?" Some robbers blocked the car Mirage Saburo was riding in. The adjutant in the passenger seat rolled down the window and cursed at the miserable Mirage soldiers.
Seeing that it was an officer, the other party also moved out of the way very wisely, which made Mirage Takesaburo look a little embarrassed.
As a general, he could naturally see that these Mirage soldiers who were running rampant in the city obviously did not have the courage to go back to fight.
It's okay to let them bully the common people of Qi, but it would be too naive to let them deal with the soldiers. They will only collapse at the first touch and cannot even hold on.
"These soldiers are finished. They have lost their honor and their shame." Mirage Saburo said heartbrokenly in the slightly shaking car.
He didn't know what these soldiers had gone through to become what they were now. He only knew that he was here for the future of Mirage and to bring victory to Mirage.
Therefore, he had to reinvigorate the troops, keep the fighting spirit of the following troops high, and then lead these soldiers to defeat the Tang army trying to attack Beiyuan City.
"I heard that the artillery fire of the Tang Army was very fierce, and the aircraft were also very powerful." The adjutant in the front row turned around and said, "Many soldiers were frightened."
"Fear is the most useless emotion in the world!" Mirage Saburo said coldly to express his opinion.
"General Wu Liang died on the battlefield, so the base camp emphasized the safety of the generals... They urgently issued helmets to all officers above the regiment level..." the adjutant reminded him.
The death of Mirage Wuliang in battle was very shocking to the senior leaders of Mirage Kingdom. You must know that he was a very high-level military commander.
In the past, it would have been impossible for such generals to die in battle: either they had time to retreat, or they had time to surrender, and basically they would not die.
However, Mirage Wuliang was killed by an air strike from an enemy aircraft before the battle really started - this was definitely shocking enough for the Mirage army, which had no professional air defense troops and no knowledge of air defense.
Therefore, with great urgency, the headquarters of Mirage's highest command organization launched a commander safety plan: senior commanders are temporarily issued helmets to ensure safety.
Speaking of this base camp, one has to admire the imagination of the senior officials of the Mirage Kingdom: when they were inspecting and visiting Bunas, they accidentally learned that the Datang Group had a staff department. Datang's decisions all came from this staff officer
department.
After learning the news, Mirage designed an organization similar to a general staff. In order to distinguish it from the general staff of the Datang Group, it changed its name to the base camp.
In terms of actual work content, this base camp is completely different from the Neon Country base camp during World War II, but I have to say that the name really made Tang Mo inexplicably excited.
There was a moment when Tang Mo and even himself should have waited, restrained his emotions, and allowed this mirage to exist for another five, seven or eight years.
Because by that time, Tang Mo felt that he should have a brand new toy, a toy worthy of the name Base Camp!
For Mirage Takesaburo, airplanes are no stranger. He had seen such a thing before setting off from Mirage Country!
Or, to be more precise, he had already seen the wreckage of the plane in the Mirage Kingdom: as the war went on, more than one plane crashed by the Tang Army, so some of the wreckage had passed through the Mirage Kingdom and was transported to the Ice Kingdom and Yang Kingdom.
The wood kingdom.
Cyric wanted to study these wrecks, but they did not dare to ship them directly to the south, so they could only go around in a large circle, passing through the Mirage Kingdom, the Ice Empire, the Poplar Kingdom, the Reins Empire, the Dorne Empire, and finally
Arrive at Gobel Kingdom.
Before Mirage Saburo came to Beiyuan City, he was invited to visit the wreckage of a Stuka dive bomber.
This aircraft was the one that crashed due to malfunction. In fact, nothing could be seen from the wreckage. However, part of the fuselage and part of the wings were restored.
Although he still couldn't see anything, Mirage Takezaburo had seen things like airplanes after all, so he was at least a little more knowledgeable than Mirage Takeryo.
"We all need to be careful! The new military regulations stipulate that if I go to the front line, I can only go as far as the third-line position...and the headquarters must have a roof and corresponding construction standards." Mirage Saburo said.
When he mentioned this, he thought of His Royal Highness the Second Prince of Qi who greeted him on the pier. That man's ears were not working right now, and he had to shout loudly to communicate with him.
This man is crazy now, and his words are confusing and illogical. I heard that he was not far away when Mirage Wuliang was killed in the bombing. He was lucky enough to escape with a small life, but he was also frightened half to death.
Through the car window, he could see some Mirage soldiers building air defense positions on the roofs of high-rise buildings in Beiyuan City.
They carried the Maxim machine gun to the roof of the building and piled sacks to build a bunker, so that they could get a better shooting range and have a wider field of vision.
Although the Tang army has not bombed Beiyuan City, everyone has seen the miserable situation in the outer positions. Therefore, it is natural to deploy some defensive measures.
It's just that relying solely on these Maxim machine guns for air defense is obviously not enough: their range is too low, and they can only carry out sneak attacks when aircraft dive to attack.
"We need more professional anti-aircraft guns, the kind that can shoot very high." Mirage Saburo is a professional after all, and he quickly put forward his needs.
The adjutant nodded immediately and said to his immediate superior: "Actually, Qi State has already made this request, and we also made a request to Cyric half a month ago."
"What did they say?" Mirage Saburo asked immediately.
The adjutant replied with some embarrassment: "They are designing, it takes time."
"It's always so slow... No wonder they are suppressed by the Datang Group." Mirage Saburo couldn't help but complain.
In fact, what the Mirage lacks is not just anti-aircraft artillery, they also lack a sufficient number of combat anti-aircraft artillery to deal with tanks.
They also need a large number of tanks to carry out counterattacks and regain lost positions. But the tanks produced by Cyric are really rubbish.
I heard that the second-generation Cyric tanks are being put into production by the Ice Empire, but mass production still takes time. The Ice Empire itself also needs tanks, and it is unlikely to provide a sufficient number of tanks to Mirage in a short period of time.
Despite Cyric's great help, Mirage still obtained Cyric 1 tanks and sent dozens of these junks to Beiyuan City.
But anyone with a brain knows that it is impossible to expect this thing to perform miracles: Qi State put more than 100 tanks on the battlefield, but everyone saw the result.
What is regrettable is that because Mirage is an island country, the army will always be ranked behind the navy in terms of military expenditure and equipment priority.
Therefore, Mirage Takesaburo knew that it was useless to be anxious. The top priority of the Mirage Kingdom's top leaders was still the navy.
Just when the Qi State was defeated, the Mirage State placed a large order with Cyric and purchased various warships.
As of this moment, Mirage is still the country that purchases the most battleships. It has purchased all the battleships built by Cyric, and it is a veritable naval power.
If we only look at the total tonnage, the Mirage Kingdom has even surpassed the Tang Kingdom and is the country with the largest total tonnage of warships on the Endless Sea.
It's just that the battleships manufactured by Cyric have poor technology and low combat power, so overall, the Tang Navy is still the strongest.
This is also what makes Tang Mo a little depressed: he has to build a strong army and air force to ensure the attributes of a continental country. But Mirage is a completely maritime country, and it can concentrate on developing its navy.
The car drove through the deserted streets and finally stopped in front of a less conspicuous building.
In order to avoid being bombed by planes, Mirage Takezaburo cunningly changed his headquarters. Instead of going to the renovated Governor's Mansion left by Mirage Takeryo, he found a random building to hide in.
"General!" Just as he was about to enter, an anxious officer guarding the door handed him the message in his hand: "News just sent! The Tang Army has restarted shelling our Western Front positions!"
"What?" Mirage Saburo pulled the telegram directly, read the contents carefully, and asked, "Have reinforcements been sent out?"
"Not yet...you, you haven't arrived yet, I, we..." The officer still wanted to explain.
But his words were interrupted by Mirage Takesaburo: "Let the follow-up troops go up immediately! Tell them to make their own decisions based on the battle situation on the front line!"
"The Tang army is just shelling! General!" the officer reminded.
"Hmph!" Mirage Saburo sneered: "Maybe, the Tang army's attack has already started!"
